One of the signs that we are passing from autumn into winter is the arrival in the garden of flocks of Ring-necked parakeets to feed on the berry trees. This party of 8 dropped in for a snack yesterday.

One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.
